Candy Man..
Dean Arnold Corll ( 24/12/1939 – 8/8/1973) was an American serial killer & sex offender, infamous for his heinous acts committed between 1970 & 1973 in Houston & Pasadena,Texas. During this dark period, Corll abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered a minimum of 28 teenage boys & young men, creating a chilling chapter in the annals of criminal history.
Assisted by 2 teenaged accomplices, David Owen Brooks & Elmer Wayne Henley, the trio carried out their gruesome crimes, which later became known as the Houston Mass Murders. The shocking revelation occurred when Henley, driven to a desperate act, fatally shot Corll, bringing the atrocities to light.
Corll's sinister modus operandi involved luring victims with promises of parties or rides to various locations where he resided between 1970 and 1973. Once in his grasp, the victims were restrained through force or deception and met their tragic fates through strangulation or shootings with a .22 caliber pistol. The trio buried seventeen victims in a rented boat shed, four in woodland near Lake Sam Rayburn, and one on a beach in Jefferson County. Additionally, at least 6 victims found their final resting place on a beach on the Bolivar Peninsula.
Corll's notoriety earned him chilling monikers such as the "Candy Man" & the "Pied Piper," owing to his family's former ownership of a candy factory in Houston Heights. His disturbing penchant for giving free candy to local children added an eerie layer to his already horrifying legacy. Brooks and Henley, who confessed to aiding Corll in numerous abductions and murders, were both sentenced to life imprisonment, marking the conclusion of a dark chapter in criminal history.
